merchandise in wholesale lines.

list.
THE BREADsTUFFs SITUATION.
The Washington MAY report on the
condition of the winter wheat crop Of
1887 in the United States makes it two
points lower for May, or SO against
SO lilo for April, 1887, and 90 for May,
1886. The lack of rain during nearly all
of April and the first ten days in May has
not been favorable to the spring wheat.
In the Red river valley there are
complaints of want of moisture. Pros
poets for the winter wheat in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. Maryland, New York, West
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana are reported
by close observers to be less favorable
than indicated by the government report
for May ], as the weather the first ten
days in May was'such as to deteriorate
rather than to improve the condition.
The stock of wheat at Minneapolis and
ST. Paul on May Z, 1887, was 1862, 1856
bushels. The weekly milling consump-
ton of wheat at Minneapolis is about
500, 900 bushels. The new crop will not
be available Except, perhaps, to q very
limited EXTENT till about the last week in
September, or for twenty weeks. The
Minneapolis mills will require, therefore,
10, 900, 900 bushels of milling wheat prior
to new crop, or about $500, 900 bushels
IN o4n I'm
luth, however, contained 10, 753, 239 bush
els of wheat on the date named.
The stock of winter wheat May 7, 1887,
at St. Louis was 1850, 132 bushels; at
Toledo / 032, 1868. bushels, and at Detroit
bushels Fresh receipts, with present
outlook for the winter wheat crop, may
be counted upon as probably very moGer-
ate. st. Louis is an important milling
point. Besides, option trading cannot
be successfully carried on without
considerable stock of wheat on hand.
The large sales of winter wheat at New
York of late, chiefly for export, have
probably absorbed most of the winter
whea1 in transit Bradstreet's.
